"Sonos Rocks our House"
Pros: Drop plug and play
Cons: Protected itunes files can't be played, but there is a work around
Summary: After a "demo", I was sold. Running 2 ZP100s and 3 ZP80s.
Setup within a wireless router environment took some troubleshooting by having to establish specific IP addresses for each device. After that, clear sailing!
The controller is the "heart" of the system, allowing you to surf your music files or the internet radio stations at your command.
Sonos operates on 2.4Ghz... so ensure you alter the "channel" range to be outside of your router channel, if its also 2.4GHz... or just upgrade the router to Wireless N, which is what I did due to having wireless speakers running as well.
Applie itune files that are protected (.m4p) cannot be streamed onto the system... WORK AROUND IS AVAILABLE: from itunes you can make backups to a CD, which converts the file type into a playable format... just reload the backup file from CD back onto hard drive.
I looked hard at other music bridges and other streamers... SONOS was the only solution, in my opinion, that provided the ability to run music throughout your house and change music from where you were sitting... rather than running back to your desktop to change what you wanted to hear.
